Wenger In vs Wenger Out fans

[redgunamo]

He still thinks he's a good enough manager to win the league, from what we've seen the last 10+ years he's obviously not. Do we stick with him because we pity the man and don't want to hurt his feelings, or send him on his way and get someone new in to hopefully change things for the better?

I'm inclined to agree with you, but there's really no sense getting worked up about it at this late stage. He'll be off soon enough anyway.

[Tony C]

There's one thing I'd say....he's got 1 year left on his contract.

Would be criminal to sack him now...not offering him a new contract is one thing but sacking him...that's way over the top.

Personally don't think he's done anything to warrant a sacking....it's certainly not on the scale of the complete goof ball who thought it was a smart move to bid 40m plus 1 for Suarez....that was a lot worse...we lost on Higuain trying to get Suarez only for some idiot to bid 1 pound over...that's far more sackable than what Arsene has done.

[Alberto Balsam Rodriguez]

I don't think so. He'll go when He's good and ready and He'll know exactly when that is.

Maybe he might go at the end of next season. Personally, I think the problem is the board. They will offer him a new contract and hope he stays. I could be wrong but I don't think they have any other options in place right now

Oh, I'd be surprised if the board had a succession plan. You just wait and see who's available and viable when the time comes, imo.

Why is the board a problem?

[Alberto Balsam Rodriguez]

I don't think they have a direction for the club at all. I think it is a case of leave it to Arsene and see what happens. Not a problem if you know Arsene will stay and not a problem if the club are achieving their aims but what happens when he rejects that new contract? I think there will be collective panic on the board and they will make a mistake with their next hire.

Yeah, then we sack the bloke and get somebody else in.

Not a problem. That's football. There's plenty of football managers about.

Yeah but not as many good ones. Wenger wants to leave the club in a good state for the next guy. What happens if that guy is a dud? How much of his work will be for nothing?

He won't be sacked that's for sure, so it's a case of what does he have to do to get the "Wenger Out" camp back in favour?
For me personally he would have to win the Premier League or Champions League to show he's still got what it takes to be a winner at the top level.

The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley, an' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain for promis'd joy.

Again, that's football.

What happens if the next guy is quite good?
